Really pleased to have made it, and to see Phill on the same sheet, even had to use my NAS box to help out, couldn't believe it would almost out perform the 6700K@4.5Mhz when running 2.4Mhz Passive Air cooler!!!

So with a 4930k in the wings should good for 45kppd when the challenges come round, thats until something special appears through the post.

I'm glad to see you finally made it in the top 10 I suppose if I tweaked my systems to do one task I could get there, but I just let them do all of them and be done with it I'm very much liking the 18th place Hopefully when I can get another heatsink at least from work for my R710 that other X5650 will add a little more grunt to my crunching power

I have found the problem with the crunching as well guys in that running VMware for running Linux, the performance has been cut as it's only really looking at the cores, not so much the threads, so whilst the power consumption is a lot lower, so it the performance as you'd expect.. I might have a look into running Linux on the server from an SSD rather than with the raid cards etc that's in this beast and then see where I go...

Just go to "his" webpage at FDC and either hover your cursor over the system number or click on it and it will tell you what each system is, or at least how BOINC see it. This information is only available if a user has checked the box in their settings - My Profile page on WCG for "show hosts".
